This is generally a nice article, calling for some more active response to the Trump onslaught on workers' rights. But it's weak on what to do, especially since it avoids the question of how to deal with the labor bureaucrats. It sidesteps this question by referring to "we" in "the labor movement." But who is "we"? Does that include Sean O'Brien, who was welcomed at the Republican convention? Does it include Sean Fain, the UAW leader, who welcomed Trump to the presidency with his statement that "we are willing to work with you"? Giving a call for workers to get organized for struggle is important, as the author says, but that cannot begin by putting things in the hands of the trade union officialdom.
